Indulge in this moist and visually stunning Cranberry Upside Down Bundt Cake, bursting with sweet-tart flavors that make it perfect for any celebration.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups fresh cranberries
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar (for topping)
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar (for cake)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 cup milk

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, mix fresh cranberries with 1/2 cup of granulated sugar. Set aside for about 15 minutes to create syrup.
  2. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a bundt pan and dust it with flour.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, cream together softened butter and 1 cup of granulated sugar until fluffy.
  4. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract until combined.
  5. In another bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour and baking powder.
  6. Gradually add the dry mixture to the creamed butter mixture, alternating with milk until smooth.
  7. Pour half of the batter into the prepared bundt pan. Evenly sprinkle the cranberry mixture over it, then top with the remaining batter.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for about 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  9. Allow to cool slightly before inverting onto a plate to serve.
